Our feathered friends are to winter, as color is to sight.
Birds are to the backyard as wind is to a kite.

Oh, What I Love About Winter!
Filed under: Backyard Expressions, Feeding Backyard Birds, Feeding Birds in Winter by:
Winter is the time of year backyard birds depend on us.
Oh, the pleasure of meeting their needs.
Oh, the color and life they bring to bare trees and white frosted ground.
Each one their own charm, many antics do they display.
A smile I keep all winter long, as I do watch my dear backyard birds.
Poem by Craig
What do you feel backyard birds bring you in winter?
Email me a poem you are moved to give and it could
be posted here on “Feeding Backyard Birds”!
